        When talking about android.. People refer to specific devices.. like note 3. And the interest will be gone after a few mths. And people will continue on a blank slate like note 4 or sony z3.

        But when talking about iOS.. people only use iPhone. I have upgraded from iPhone 3gs to iphone 4s to iphone 5s .. and thru out the years, its still my iPhone.. the data.. the memories.. the messages are still there..

        I believe people who are satisfied and does not wish to start a blank slate, will continue to buy iphones every 2 years. So yes the growth will still be strong.

          With the price cut and the opening of china's market.
          We will see the worlds first and only smartphone to reach 1 Billion.
          And Apple will be the worlds first company to reach 1 Trillion dollar and so forth.

          In 2020 Apple will have enough money to give out 1 Million dollars to each and everyone in this planet.
          That is the sum of Apple's success.

                [deleted post]And your comment clearly shows how biased you are. You obviously skipped over the comments of the Android fanboys saying the exact same thing. Just look 3 comments below yours. and again 5 comments below. And again 7 comments below.

                At least try not to make your bias and irrational hatred so obvious.

                    Red Hot, 26 Mar 2014It doesn't mean that way. You could look at it that a singl... moreWhich means that history will count as well? If someone bought the very first iphone that was introduced by steve for the first time ever in life and from that time till now all iphones bought till 5s/5c? Now I see. Thats how crapple is celebrating their sales income. Overexpensive shit crap for sale.

                              Ever since I upgraded my iPhone version to iOS 7.1 last week, I have been facing a network error whereby I have to search for it again and again.

                                  Most people that buy an iPhone have one already.
                                  So most people that buy have already bought 3 or 4 iphones. That makes it 1 in 70 persons.
                                  Now remember that not only people buy phones, but corporations, and resellers. Let's say only 80% of the phones get to end users..

                                      I really believe that inspite of Apple using outdated specs on their phones, I am sure Apple's momentum will continue rise even further.

                                      I hate Apple for keeping everything on their phones very restricted. But inspite of all the negative aspect that many people share, it is still believed that Apple makes premium products and this all is because of their amazing marketing stunt.

                                      All the best to you Apple.

                                      Cheers!!
